Is there an appeals process like the one associated with mapping access land under CROW?
No. The rights have been in existence for many decades, and we anticipate our data is correct in the majority of areas. We are happy to update our records where evidence is presented that land should be removed from – or added to – the s15 maps. Natural England will publish the outcome of any casework arising from changes to the s15 maps on our website. It is intended to be a non-adversarial process, and the extent of any consultation will be left to the discretion of regional officers. If new evidence comes to light we can reopen a case.
